Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How does this work?
Previous iterations suffered from a lot of uncertainty while other suffered from way too many numbers. This time, we’re gonna simplify things down. The main stats you'll have to deal with are as follows: - Badges: How many badges you have will affect the type of Pokemon you can find and level they'd be at.
- Moveset: Four moves per Pokemon. Low leveled Pokemon will start with one or two but gain moves quickly. Our server has a Pokedex; you can look up what kind of moves your Pokemon can/can't take on.
- Levels: Each Pokemon will have a level. Leveling up will make your Pokemon increase their HP while also being tougher in other stats. Levels should be reflected in RP; a lower level Pokemon will likely get pummeled by a higher level rather quickly and vice versa.
- Fame/Infamy: How well known you are around the region and your success in Gym Battles may have an impact on how others see you. As your adventure continues, you will find yourself answering for the deeds (both good and bad) that you may have engaged in over time. The higher this goes, the more influence you have in your travels. A high enough influence may even open some unforeseen doors...
Q2. Hold up. No money? No HP?
No and no. These are areas where we want to streamline things and put power in player hands. It’s best to not get bogged down in all the stats that you would see in the main game; the Levels stat covers most of that and allows players to focus more on the writing aspects rather than the numbers. Essentially, feel free to take the lead in most cases but try to be realistic. You’re a traveling young adult on a quest to be the very best that no one ever was, not some rich jerk who gets their jollies running a crime syndicate that steals Pokémon from others.
You will have a lot of leeway when it comes to how things play out but Lines and I are the final authorities on the outcomes. Put effort into your writing and interactions and we’ll leave you be. Try to blaze through things and we’re going to have to talk. There will be times where we may intervene to turn up the heat or cool things down in story, especially in battles with Gym leaders or crime syndicates. A list of the places where you'll find both will be forthcoming.
Also, plan to fail. We will be throwing obstacles at you and you will fail at times. If you don't want to lose ever don't fill out the app and go write some fan fiction. Simple as that.
Q3. How do Levels work?
Battles with other trainers or wild Pokémon. After each battle where your Pokémon succeeds without fainting, a hundred sided die is rolled. If the number is higher than your Pokémon’s level, your Pokémon levels up. If it isn’t, then the minimum roll required will be one less the next time.
So as an example, say you have a Charmander that is a Level 3. The die is rolled after battle and you get a 3 or higher. Your Charmander levels up to Level 4. Now let’s say your Squirtle, a Level 3, also won a battle. The die is rolled but you roll a 2. The next time your Squirtle wins a battle, you’ll need to roll a 2 or higher to level up.
Q4. How do I get around?
Biking. Walking. Skateboarding. Hoverboarding.
Fly will be accessible after you obtain two badges. You do not need to teach your Pokémon the move Fly; there will be an app on your smartphone offered for Fly service. You can only fly to towns you have visited before.
Surf works in a similar fashion. Two badges and you’ll have access to an app on your smartphone that lets you call for Surf service.
Ferries run along the coasts to take people to different towns. They are quicker than just walking on the roads, but you’ll find less chances to train up your Pokémon for upcoming Gym Battles. Also less chances to catch Pokemon in the wild.
Q5. How do I catch Pokémon?
Different areas will be set as “biomes” where certain types of Pokémon are more common than others. Lower level Pokémon will be more common at the beginning; as you gain more badges, you will be able to find higher level Pokémon and evolved versions as well.
You can have six Pokémon in your party at once. Any extras will be sent to your Storage. You can review storage from anywhere using a smartphone (all characters should have one) but you can only transfer Pokémon from a PokeCenter. They’re all around so that shouldn’t be a problem.
It’s best to check in with me when you reach a new area to see what kind of Pokémon are able to be caught. I’ll be happy to give you a rundown.
Q6. How do Gym Battles work?
3 on 3. First to have all three faint loses the match. If you win you gain a badge. If you lose, there’s always next time. Each trainer has their own gimmick in terms of Pokémon type but also in terms of the layout of the gym itself. Lines will run four and I’ll run four.
Note: Elite Four are 6 on 6 battles.
Q7. What’s the government in this world exactly?
There is none.
No, I’m not kidding. There’s really no real central government. All cities are city-states and the towns are their own jurisdictions. The only ties that are binding them together are the Pokémon Trainers League. Additionally, much like the series there are the Officer Jennies, but that’s the extent of their cooperation.
This is a world where might is right. It can be rather brutal, and everyone knows this. Do not expect them to wait up in their Gyms for you to come to them. They are their own powerful personalities with their own followings and will make moves to strengthen themselves to possibly become the Pokémon Champion.
Additionally the region has very active and very dangerous criminal syndicates with their own ideologies. You will encounter them in your travels and they may try to bring harm upon you. Some people may choose to join them, and that’s perfectly acceptable. This is supposed to be open ended after all. You don’t have to play the Good Guy; you could just as easily become a criminal and become the ultimate lord of the criminal underworld.
But don’t expect the Elite Four to sit back in their HQ and watch the show either. They are the Elite Four for a reason, and they will be working to make dramatic shifts to the region. One of the Four alone can be a formidable foe. All four combined are extremely dangerous. If you seek to overthrow them, proceed with caution.
Q8. What Pokémon can I start with?
You can start with up to three first evolution Pokémon. You will have 10 Levels to distribute out to your Pokémon. Any requests for non-first evolution Pokémon must be cleared with me ahead of time. In the application, please make sure to list the Pokémon and their respective level.
Q9. Are there any things that need to be clarified?
Some things to keep in mind:- IT IS POSSIBLE TO DIE. IT IS POSSIBLE TO COMMIT MURDER. BEWARE THE CONSEQUENCES.
- All captured Pokemon are registered with their respective Trainer. As a result, you can not capture another person’s Pokemon. It is possible to steal the Pokeball and rewrite its Trainer however, but doing so is in violation with the law.
- We don’t talk about where the food comes from.
- Generations I-III of Pokémon are the only ones we’re using. NO EXCEPTIONS.
- Any other questions, please reach out to me and I’ll try to answer them as best I can.

Mordvania (OOC:Changes) |
Posted by: Hadash - 11-09-2018, 10:50 PM - Forum: Discussion and Planning

Mordvania is likely experiencing some changes on its politics and history - some parts of its history may be retconned.
Given that some nations in Marzanna are being removed, and that Central Brigidna (the area around Kaljurand and Mordvania) is rather empty, I discussed with Ayzek and Arkiania the possibility of partially retconning Mordvania and placing it where Calgarov is/was. As a consequence, if we don't want to alter the history of Kaljurand and the civil war, Kaljurand may need to be moved to the area nearby, maybe where Mordvania is currently (or at least somewhere nearby), if Hahk agrees.
Other nations such as Nerysia shouldn't be much affected. Nerysia would have still intervened in Kaljuran civil war, and the increased distance between Nerysia and Kaljurand could explain why Nerysia didn't decide to further intervene and defend Kaljuran government from Mordvania more than they did; and Nerysia is supposedly powerful enough to be able to afford helping Kaljurand as they did despite the distance.
If this proposal is agreeable for those involved (mostly Saratov, Hank, and Nentsia), other changes would involve:
- Mordvania's history would have been much more integrated into Marzanna history, although still outside Severyane's direct sphere.
- Mordvania's history would likely be partially retconned, with the current Republic of Mordvania would have likely be established one or two decades before (but pretty much its history since, let's say, 1572 to present would remain the same - except a few details).
- Abdania, as such, wouldn't have existed as it is established so far. Instead of being a Mordvanian majority being ruled by an Abdanian minority in the past; Mordvania would have been likely be a no-Slav country ruled by a Geinic royal house (history of Abdania/Mordvania wouldn't be much affected, though, as I'm keeping all their kings).
- As the geographic retconning, it is not likely that the Kingdom of Abdania and Mordvania would have been able to have colonies in the past. So all Abdanian colonies in Avidna, including Khibland, are likely removed or retconed.
- Moving Kaljurand to east may make more sense historically, I guess, as it would be closer to related nations as Karjelinn and Harmajaa. I don't remember much about Kaljurand pre-modern history, but it shouldn't be much affected I hope.
- Mordvanian intervention in Khibland, though, wouldn't have happened, as well as Nentsia recognition of Khibland's independence, for example. Abdanian migration to Western Brigidna, etc, wouldn't have happened, or would be reduced to the migration of the royal house and a related nobility.
Any feedback is welcome.

The world economy will greatly depress in 1597, through no fault of mine or my characters.
We just need to explain it away somehow.
So how should we explain it away?

Hello there,
After the first commonwealth war this hole thing started in soyabar. Protests started happening for reforms. The biggest one being this poll. it questions the usefullness of empire.
Keep in mind, the current emperor has no heirs of his own, only cousins. And his family has reigned Soyabar since the year 420. these are the options in advance
- Hold the current emperor
- Emperor has to abdicate and successor comes on the throne
- Empire gets abolished and changes into a republic

The current President is: Lalanda Marionett(Ayzek)
The current Speaker of the Assembly is: Lawrence Caufield (Flo)
1595-96 Nyland Federal Assembly Sessions
MCN 103 | CDA 94 | PCP 80 | NL 77 | UP 76 | NKR 50 | NPA 19 | MIP 14 | NCP 12 | NMP 10
Bill Posting Period is CLOSED
Emergency Sessions: None
HEAR ye, hear ye, the 1595-96 session of the Nyland Federal Assembly is now in session. All Honourable Assemblypersons, do please take your seats for role-call.
Within these halls, all legislative decisions for Nyland shall take place. Anyone from any party shall be allowed to present legislation for consideration, but only one bill may be active upon the floor for debate and vote at any one time. Furthermore, during debate, one must clearly state who is being recognized to speak on the floor, their party (if applicable), and then put forth their statement or argument for or against the bill and other points of discussion; one may refer to others arguments if they so desire, but they shall refrain from direct outbursts on the floor without having been called to the floor to speak.
The Rules
This is meant to be a fun thing where anyone can pop in as an assemblyperson of Nyland's legislature, and legislation by no means has to remain serious or solemn. There are a few basic rules to consider, however:
1) Legislation for the period can only be presented during an open period for submittal. The status of the Bill Submittal period is located above. If you miss the posting period, tough shit; hold onto it for later.
2) Submitted Bills are first-come, first-served. If emergency stuff happens, such as natural disaster or a state of war, a separate thread will be created. (No more Tambossa-style "vote only" unless time is really, really of the essence)
3) There are no time limits on debate. If the session ends before debate finishes, or we don't get through the queue of bills, then tough shit, it's gone; remake it in the next session.
4) To move for a vote, two people must motion for a vote. Voting will then begin in this thread, with people posting whether they vote for or against, and which party they represent.
5) After a bill moves to a vote, there is no revote; will not be re-submitted until the next session.
6) Votes will be weighted by party, and the party's votes split based upon those who recognize themselves as from such party. Individual people may of course split their alloted votes amongst (yes), (no) and (abstain) if they so wish.
7) Any Bill that passes a vote, regardless of how trivial or silly, will move to the President's Desk for consideration; the President must post his approval/denial in this thread.
8) Any bill denied by the President may still become law with a 2/3 majority in favor in the legislature; any bill approved by the President is in immediate effect and becomes law throughout Nyland.
God help us all.

Hi-ho, your demonic friendly neighborhood Discord Admin here!
So some people have mentioned "hey, that channel that was posting our tweets isn't doing the thing, what the Hell Icar?" Well I have good news, bad news and more bad news. The good news is you have all been using it rather frequently, which adds lovely flavor to the world we've built (at least I believe that)!
The bad news is Zapier (the program that hosts my Twitter posting script that I totally stole) is an ass and limits you to 100 "actions" per month. Essentially, 100 tweets and that's it. Per month. Which, ain't happening. Alternatively, we pay 20 bucks a month and get 1000 "actions" per month. Which also ain't happening.
So that leads us to the more bad news, at least for me. We're going to be switching to a new service called IFTTT. Long explanation short, it'll do a lot of what Zapier does, only it requires a lot more scripts since it can't just pull from a list. Which means more work for Icarus. Sad face.
So what I need from you all is to post the Twitter accounts you are presently using here, including the name of the account and the link. That's it. Do that for me and we're all set. Fail to do that and your tweets won't pop up on Discord. Simple as that. Any questions, just shoot me a DM on Discord. Thanks!

Diplomatic visits
So my new president of the Mandavines James is planning to boost trade ties and co-operation on security and the environment across the globe though new treaties. This would focus on free trade, environmental accords and intel sharing. He will want to meet up with many world leaders especially, those of Goldecia, Eskkya, Valland, Eretzora, Severyane, Nyland, Lanlania, West Brigidna , Mestra, Angiris etc. all the big powers of the world basically and those where they have either historical links. He might visit other countries too or accept visits but if you all put potential dates or requests here , we can organise this.s

How do you n3rD5 feel about court RP? We can go all the way and pretend someone's a judge and others lawyers and shit, but I'd down with something simpler to determine most cases. Like, say, polls. Polls are gr8.
I ask this because the NMP is getting sued by a lot of people, and it occurred to me there might be a better way to resolve than that automatically winning (which I would).
But, then again...outsourcing justice to you guys sounds like a terrible idea.
